The name of our school is Chimutu Community Day Secondary School. It is in one of the middle-
income locations of Lilongwe, the capital city of Malawi. It is a day school and has both boys and
girls.
The school has around 215 students from Forms 1 and 4. We have eleven subjects and these are English,
Mathematics, Biology, Chichewa, Home Economics, Social and Development Studies, Agriculture,
Geography, History, Business Studies and Bible Knowledge. Students in Forms 1 and 2 have to take
all subjects but students in Forms 3 and 4 have to choose from optional subjects.
Our classes normally start at 07.30 and end at 13.50. We have our first break at 09.30 and we go for
the second break at 11.40. During break time we usually play different games and chat. Some of us
may go to the library to borrow books.
The school has many additional activities such as sports games like soccer and netball. Students also
have different clubs and groups. Some of these are the Writers Club, Science Club and Wildlife Club.
You know what students do in these clubs!
We usually finish classes at 13.50 and most of us walk for few minutes to our homes. Of course, most
of us live not very far from our school but some, however, live far from school. When we arrive at
home, we change our school uniforms before taking lunch. We rest for some few hours so that we start
reading our books and write exercises.
After study we usually go and join our friends playing different games. Here in Malawi boys and girls
normally play different games. Girls play netball and make dolls from clay. Boys usually play soccer,
chess and basket ball. When boys and girls play together, they normally play such games as ‘Hide and
Seek’.
At weekends we often spend our time at home. Sometimes we spend our weekends at church or at
sports grounds or stadiums in our area. This is how we spend our free time in Malawi.
